During an interview with reality TV star Tacha on Cool FM Nigeria in Lagos, Zoro addressed the issue, describing Wizkid’s commentary on the rap genre as poorly presented. His objection highlights the sensitivity and solidarity within the rap community, both in Nigeria and worldwide.JAMB Result

Tacha asked: “What’s your opinion on what Wizkid said about rap being dead? Do you personally think that rap is dead?”
